Yu's work performed at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, reviewed by Dancing Times

October 12, 2017

UW-Madison's Jin-Wen Yu presented “Fine, Without Me/You?” in the Dance-Forms 74th International Choreographers' Showcase in August. The performance was part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the largest arts festival in the world.

Yu is a professor with the UW-Madison School of Education's Dance Department.

Palmer Mathews (BFA, ’17) and Liu Yun-Chen performed the duet, which was “full of finesse with some great partnering,” according to David Mead, writing for Dancing Times.

He writes that they “played out a delightfully quirky relationship to the delicious ‘Je t’écrirai’ by Alain Leamauff” and “really made you believe.”
